Value Collection A997249 5/16-18 X 2 in Oval Phillips Screw 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997249 is a 5/16-18 x 2-inch oval head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface with a countersunk bearing face, providing a low-profile appearance after installation. The unified coarse (UNC) thread pattern at 5/16-18 provides reliable thread engagement in metal, plastic, and pre-tapped assemblies. Length is measured under the head at 2 inches. This fastener is sold in a pack of 10 and is suited for mechanical assembly, equipment repair, and fabrication work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade applications.

This screw is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial settings where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for outdoor enclosures, wet environments, panel assemblies, and equipment that sees periodic cleaning or moisture exposure. A standard Phillips driver is required for installation. The pack quantity of 10 suits small-batch repairs and service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips-bit driver sized for a 5/16-inch oval head screw. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside electrical or HVAC panels. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur — apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where specified.
